Well and then how impactful were the Chinese interventions in the market and the
voice-verified
subsidies accelerated solar.
voice-verified
But but um and so the the way uh the that China reduced its oil dependence is via electrification or via terraform style synthetic fuels?
voice-verified
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Actually, yeah, it's probably rocket science.
voice-verified
Um going back to the subsidies, uh how did the Chinese subsidize solar panels?
voice-verified
like a government backed zero interest loan.

Where I'm going with this is um if the German subsidies were somewhat impactful and if the Chinese subsidies were very impactful to the development of solar, what are the implications here for
voice-verified
your grand theory of industrial policy and intervention, where if we want to be able to have nice things like solar panels and things like that, Silicon Valley tends to have this libertarian bent, you know, keep the government out of our innovation.
voice-verified
But it seems like top down
voice-verified
government intervention was impactful in bringing solar to to us sooner.
voice-verified
It would have happened anyway, but it would have happened slower.
voice-verified
And so what do you think sensible industrial um policy is for the US or for whatever government with, you know, lots of stakeholders.
